Apple today released a press statement regarding the number of iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C sold. A staggering 9 million iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C have been sold in the first three days of the release. Another new record to add to the list is the number of iOS devices which are now on iOS 7 - mind-blowing 200 million!

As someone who'd rather open trenches in their veins with a spork than buy an apple product, I was rather excited to see the 5S hit the market. Lot of the same ol' same ol' but seeing a 64 bit processor in a mobile device will start people on the road to making mobile devices that're useful for the kinds of things I want a tablet to do...

That said, in typical Apple fashion, 800 bucks for a phone like that? I'd rather hire a messenger boy to physically run my SMS across the country. >_>

As an aside, it's funny that they refused to release their sales numbers for the 5C which says to me that 9M figure is immediately and automatically suspect. (Not that I'd trust a corporation's word for anything, but this is even more obvious)
